Pics with no flash, gp on right mtec on left (angels and fogs). Cornering lights are all mtec super white h3.

with a flash (not direct); this is indicative of their brightness in my garage.

Of the mtec super white/gp thunder/cosmos blue (didn't take pics, don't like them), the gp thunders are by far the brightest. The way I am leaving it for now is gp thunders as angels and mtec super white as fogs. The super whites just aren't bright enough as angels. The gp thunder do have a blue/purple tint especially from the side (which is why I included the side shot), but it looks good in person.

MADDDDDDD RESPPPECCCTTTTT
You literally answered everyone's (almost) questions with these pics, and btw way your final color combo of the bulbs I agree 100%

Why not just go MTEC all around?

The setup that everyone is going with, definitely the nicest!
GP THUNDER 8500K Angels
MTEC SUPER WHITE h3 (Corner)
MTEC SUPER WHITE h8 (Fog)

Thanks for bumping those pics rusty... I missed them in this crazy 40 page thread. Are the GP 7500K even brighter than the 8500K? I'd rather have the pure white color of the 7500K over the slight bluish tint of the 8500K, and even better if it's brighter.

The pics are great btw But as far as 7500k goes, throughout the thread I've read that the GP Thunders are the brightest but everyone was mostly referring to the 8500k, but if you like the pure white i would suggest maybe the MTEC Super whites, or the GP 7500k. Ultimately, the MTEC's are known for the pure white look with virtually no blue, don't know if that answers your question or not..good luck!

I'm not so sure how I feel about these, any way I look at them they are not as, I can't think of the word.

The stock ones might be yellowish but they are more clearly on, especially in the day.

[eclipsisNA]

Can anyone tell me which bulbs these two pictures are? They might be different bulbs from pic to pic.



The bulbs on the left:

Am I the only one who think the GP thunders just are not bright? You can BARELY see them with your headlights on, what gives?

[KKS]

The angel eyes get dimmed when you have your headlights on. Mine actually look yellow with the headlights on . The stock angel eyes are definitely brighter

[SoFlo335]

They arent too bright, but they will do fine until the HIDs come out...

Right but to me it's almost so bad that I want to go back to stock, in fact I might end up doing that.

[dr.roro]

Did you try the 7500K or 8500K? Supposedly, the former is a little brighter.

Although my GP rings turn a bit yellow when my headlights are on, they do look better than the hideous yellow stock color.....

Can't even see them with the headlights on though, that's the thing.

[Kloogy]

Isnt the Predator Ice supposed to be brighter ? Where are you guys getting your GP 8500k from ?

[jaceaholic]

This is the issue I am having, it's like they are not even on. Really ridiculous.

Are there higher wattage bulbs with the same shape clips ETC? I don't really care about getting the light on the dash.

just as a head's up - LUX E92 is on hold right now. my original ideas are just not bright enough. The color is amazing, but they are too dim. Back to the drawing board.
